Pseuderity

I would like them to make more sense aesthetically, and remove sound-bytes from them (grunt b-day party). The rust and tear idea is a good example. It would be almost like full skins for your armor in one package. Some could be animated and more expensive and others could be static.

Please 343, consider the effect a better ranking system woul have on the community. A system like Reach's is tired and overdone. Halo 3 had the right idea with a brutal and challenging way to rank up. It was tough, rewarding, and fun. I loved seeing brigadiers and generals and actually knowing they had skill based on their rank. Unlike in Reach's system where even the highest ranked players are hardly formidable opponents. It just doesn't make sense. Everyone wants something for nothing nowadays, don't give in to this new casual trend.

I think we can all agree that the reach ranking system was completely bogus. Halo 3 had a brutal ranking system and it was amazing. You win, you go up a rank. You lose the next game, tough luck. It put you in your place based on how good you were. You got stuck at 45 like me? Then that was how it was. I knew I couldn't get to 50 by myself and the game put me in a league with players of perfectly matched skill. Halo reach didn't give you any incentive whatsoever! You grinded... And everyone knows grinding is for mmos. Not skill-based shooters. Grinding for cR wasn't fun. Playing hard and trying desperately to get that next highest skill was a great feeling when you finally succeeded! And being able to show off the seperate ranks for each playlist, oh man. It was perfect! How could someone enjoy the system of Reach? Sure, they can brag about how much TIME has been spent playing. But not how GOOD you are. I will fight for this cause until the game comes out. Who's with me?
